Don't tell the Aggies I said this, but no, not even close. There is ONE objective for any P5 coach and this is to win it all. For that reason alone, he is not overrated. I tell fellow LSU fans the same thing when they bitch about Miles and Orgeron. Winning is fricking hard. You do not luck into it with a generational player or have your team win it in spite of you.

Just off the top of my head I would say Dan Mullen, Dennis Francione, Lane Kiffin (at Tennessee), Bret Bielema, and Will Muschamp are much more fitting of that description.

But when the A&M fans come back in here after they upset Miami, I will deny ever saying it was anyone other than Jimbo.

Jimbo took over an established winning culture built by Bowden over decades & destroyed it. He was lucky that aTm came along and hired him away just as FSU was imploding. He's a top-notch OC who's in-over-his-head as a HC. See Peter Principle.

Even Vegas' "Gold & Silver Pawn Shop" rejects him as a fake.

Spurrier at SC comes to mind. He was only in it for the Augusta membership.

I think so, and it’s been obvious for awhile now…there is something off with that guy…extremely untrustworthy…maybe not as weird as Mullen, but still very, very strange.
Nice to see all you do is start fricking bait threads you are a sad pathetic little man.

Funny how you switch from Ridin Mississippi states dick over to the next team the U can’t stand dick, you are a first class troll Bravo

Only to A&M fans. Everyone else knew he left a mess and FSU and stumbled into a NC there with a player that should have been in jail.

I don't miss Nutt. Hogs have the right guy, right now.

Chad Morris was the most overrated, just by calling him coach

He had top recruiting classes and did nothing with them. The definition of overrated.

Jimbo won a natty with a great QB (requirement for most). He is similar to ChiZ who won with Cam Newton. Ogeron, etc.

Tamu got screwed. It is what they do

Come on…all the BS coach rankings have him listed high…he’s nothing but Coach O 2.0…Winston was his Joe Burrow…


I personally think Gus is a much better comparison. They both were good offensive minds and relevant 10+ years ago. When they hit gold with a QB they could pop off a great year. Now he refuses to update his offense and he will take elite talent and go 8-4 with it.

Main difference between the two is Gus is now coaching a G5 school in Disney World and Jimbo is making $100M+ at A&M.

Yeah right now is key. If his assistants become HC next year which is highly possible then you better hope like hell he gets good replacements. If not you have another Coach O on your hands. No real offense or defensive Mind running the show.
